Item # 686775

November 17, 1790

COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Nov. 17, 1790 

* United States Constitution

The front page has an article headed: "Religious Toleration" & another: "Beware of Counterfeits".
Page 3 has an item from "Vermont" noting: "The legislature of that state has passed an Act for calling a State Convention to meet at Bennington...for the purpose of assenting to, and ratifying the Constitution of the United States..." with a bit more. It would ratify the U.S. Constitution in early 1791.
Other news reports from the first full year of George Washington as President.
Four pages, very nice condition.
